** It should be noted that the actual name of the church is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" and the first article of faith is "We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost".

* Ditto with the ''FatalFrame'' series, especially ''Fatal Frame 2''. In Shinto, some deities are malevolent and must be placated, but the All-Gods Village take it to a whole new {{Squick}}y level, with HumanSacrifice ritual gone horribly, horribly wrong. It's like a follower of an Abrahamic religion having to fight his or her way through an entire village of Satan-worshippers.

After [[spoiler:killing his best friend of jealousy, his personality becomes ''much'' darker]], and by the end he manages to scare the ever-loving shit out of a pair of Jesuit assassins, [[spoiler:''kills the Pope'']], and has pretty much [[TheUnfettered become]] the [[spoiler:[[strike:top]] only candidate for the AntiChrist.]]

* The ''CthulhuMythos'' often falls into the ReligionOfEvil version below, but even its official stance is this. There is no God, nor is there a Devil. There are entities of tremendous power such that humans would call them divine and deific, but these entities, due to their power, have no more concern for humanity than humanity as a whole would care for a dust-scurrying bug. Morality is a human creation, and humans are most certainly ''[[SubvertedTrope not]]'' [[HumansAreSpecial special]]. Humanity must make worth of their own life, they have no inherent worth as a race.

* Although [[ValuesDissonance most western viewers (and probably the rest of the non-Japanese audience too) don't get it]], part of the horror of ''HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' for Japanese viewers comes from the Shinto temple with a history of human sacrifice. Shintoism places a high emphasis upon "purity." Shedding blood in a religious context is anathema to Shinto, as is touching corpses and bodily wastes. That Rika's ancestors (beware, really gross) [[spoiler:presided over ritual sacrifices in which the participants ate the intestines of the victims]] makes their religion as much an inversion of Shinto as Satanism is an inversion of Christianity. To western viewers, it's merely disgusting. To believers in Shinto, it's beyond blasphemy.

** Given that B5 Earth has been [[AncientAstronauts visited]] by SufficientlyAdvancedAliens ''at least'' once for a sufficient timespan to leave their marks in the human genome in the distant past, whether the 'demon' was a literal one or whether literature in turn and the practice of exorcism were inspired by events caused by him and his friends -- whatever kind of entity they might 'really' be -- hanging out on the planet since who-knows-when remains somewhat inconclusive.
